ITEMS TO DONATE
Currently, we see 20-30 families per week in addition to those we feed at the mission itself. We provide over 5400 meals per month, either in supplies to those who have a home or in ready-made meals for the homeless. We get donations of bread from Panera and from individual donors; fresh vegetables and fruits from Aldižs and other grocers, along with other regular providers.
